BBS

The AmigaRetro BBS systems keep the old-school online feel alive: ANSI screens, telnet clients, message bases, file areas, uploads, echo mail, door games and the kind of community rhythm that existed before everything became a feed.

You can connect from any computer with an ANSI-capable Telnet client. On an Amiga, DCTelnet can connect using the host and port pairs shown below.
